The All-22: No matter what Leroy Harris thinks, J.J. Watt is indeed something special

You hear from time to time that players believe the better team lost a game -- usually, it's the players on the losing teams providing that analysis. And once in a while, you'll hear a player claim that he wasn't completely outmatched by an opponent, even though the stat sheets and game tape tell very different stories.

So it was with Tennessee Titans guard Leroy Harris, who said after Tennessee's 38-14 Sunday loss to the Houston Texans that Texans defensive end J.J. Watt, who seems to be the runaway choice for NFL Defensive Player of the Year right now, isn't as good as people think he is -- despite the fact that Watt got two sacks in the game.

Harris is right if he's saying that Watt's performance on Sunday was nothing special. To have more sacks than every pass rushing specialist in the league, more deflected passes than most defensive backs in the league, and more tackles than most linebackers in the league is a routine game for Watt.

We joke about concussion testing, and we shouldn't -- not near enough of it happens at any level of football, and that is a serious matter. But Harris' comments about Watt after the game might lead one to believe that at some point, he got hit in the head during that game. After watching the tape, the only sensible conclusion one can come to is that J.J. Watt is almost impossible to block consistently -- no matter who he's facing.
